We first analyse the general problem of admissible conditioning and next consider the evaluation of the loss of information when a non-admissible conditioning is used as an approximation of the exact posterior distribution. Considering the case of Fisher test, we evaluate from a Bayesian point...

The notion of disapprobation is defined. It is designed to capture some features of misspecification in a decision-theoretic framework. Moreover, it is a sample-based notion so it is well-suited for the study of misspecification in Bayesian contexts. Some elementary examples of disapprobation...

In Van den Akker, Van Hoesel, and Savelsbergh (1994), we have studied a time-indexed formulation for single-machine scheduling problems and have presented a complete characterization of all facet inducing inequalities with right-hand side 1 and 2 for the convex hull of the monotone extension of...

Classically, the concept of efficiency measurement is based on the definition of a frontier that envelops the observed production plans. The efficiency score itself is based on the distance of an observed production plan from this frontier. The frontier along with the required technological...
